Status update:

10/9-Just came back from the light bulb factory; I really lit up the place.

10/10-Floating around in the air. I think I can see my house from here.

10/11-Helped scientists create atmosphere in science lab

11/4- Guess what?! I got to take part in a chemical equation! It's a good thing it was balanced or there would be a giant mess....

Overview:

Many elements say that I am noble although I don't have many friends and prefer to hang out by myself. I am known to be a hothead and turn purple or light blue when I get angry.

Activities & Interests:

I like to hang out in the atmosphere with the two other gases. I also enjoy sneaking up on people because I am colorless and odorless, and no one sees me coming. I like luxury cars, especially because I can be found in their tires. In a synthesis reaction, two or more elements are combined to form a compound. I am a part of a synthesis reaction. In a decomposition reaction, a compound is broken down into two or more elements. In a single displacement reaction, an element in a compound is replaced with another element. In a double displacement reaction, a compound is replaced with another compound.

Places:
